Facebook Status Integration

I am the author of the Facebook Status module, which allows each user to have a Facebook-style Status. I added the status to my advforum posts by putting this code in advf-forum-user.tpl.php:

    //A custom snippet which prints the user's status.
    global $user;
    if ($account->uid != $user->uid && module_exists('user_relationships')) {
      $friends = db_result(db_query("SELECT COUNT(requester_id) FROM {user_relationships} WHERE (requester_id = %d OR requestee_id = %d) AND (requester_id = %d OR requestee_id = %d) AND rtid = 2 AND approved = 1", $account->uid, $account->uid, $user->uid, $user->uid));
    }
    else {
      $friends = TRUE;
    }
    if ($user->uid && $friends) {
      $status = facebook_status_get_status($account->uid);
      if (drupal_strlen($status[0]['status_fb']) > 30) {
        $status[0]['status_fb'] = drupal_substr($status[0]['status_fb'], 0, 30) .'...';
      }
      print '<p class="submitted">'. check_plain($status[0]['fbs_name']) .' '. htmlspecialchars($status[0]['status_fb'], ENT_NOQUOTES) .'</p>';
    }

You'll note that I also integrated this with User Relationships, so that the status only displays for users that are "friends" (rtid=2) of each other. For this to be integrated into the advforum module, a variable (probably status) should be defined in the function template_preprocess_forum_user() and a setting should be added to the advforum settings page to allow the user to choose which relationship type(s) are available. You can build that element like this:

    $fbsur_result = db_query("SELECT plural_name, rtid FROM {user_relationship_types}");
    while ($row = db_fetch_array($fbsur_result)) {
      $i = $row['rtid'];
      $fbsur[$i] = $row['plural_name'];
    }
    $form['fbs_misc']['facebook_status_ur_type'] = array(
      '#type' => 'select',
      '#title' => t('User Relationship type to use for this block'),
      '#default_value' => variable_get('advanced_forum_facebook_status_user_relationships_type', array(1)),
      '#description' => t("This block works exactly like the Facebook Status Recent Updates block except that it only shows the latest status updates for users with whom the currently logged in user has a relationship."),
      '#options' => $fbsur,
      '#multiple' => TRUE;
    );

I can answer any questions, but I don't really have time to write a formal patch for this.
